Fall Fun at a Cabin

Saturday was a wonderful day for our family! Steve was invited by his friend Matt to go deer hunting. Steve LOVES hunting. Later that afternoon we all went back to Matt and Kerry's cabin for dinner. Matt and Kerry are super nice and so easy to be around. It was so so fun. We love to go driving through the country on beautiful Fall days. The cabin was so beautiful and in a gorgeous location!!!!! It was the perfect evening. Kerry had brisket (love), twice baked potatoes, green beans, rolls and blackberry cobbler and ice cream for dessert. The guys made S'mores for us!

Our friends Nathan and Elizabeth were there too. They are people persons and so much fun! I love holding Elijah!

Matt and Kerry have Will, 2 and Grayson, 4 mos. They are so cute and I got to do some cuddling with sweet Grayson. My girls LOVE Will. You would think he was there age.

I am so thankful for our church and the wonderful friends God has given us there!!!!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band. I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school. She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
